Marrying for someone else and being a widow? Stepmothers open classes to raise children

Tears slid down Tong Zongsheng's cheeks like pearls from a broken string. The kitchen knife held high by the murderer was reflected in his eyes, and fear swallowed him like a tide.

Just as Deng Yuanji's kitchen knife was about to cut Tong Zongsheng's throat, the door was suddenly kicked open with a loud noise. Tong Zongsheng's body trembled involuntarily, and his movements froze for a moment.

At this split second, a brave guard from the Ningguo Mansion flew forward like a tiger descending from a mountain, kicked the kitchen knife out of Deng Yuanji's hand, and then kicked him hard again, sending the villain falling to the ground with his legs up in the air.

Gu Zhiyi stepped into the house lightly, picked up the kitchen knife on the ground, and quickly untied the restraints on Tong Zongsheng's hands and feet. She threw the kitchen knife aside lightly, and the sharp blade sank deeply into the ground in front of Deng Yuanji, almost brushing his nose and falling down, scaring him to death, and urine could not help but flow down his trouser legs.

Tong gritted her teeth, endured the discomfort in her heart, hugged her nephew tightly in her arms, and comforted him softly. At the same time, she sent someone to Jingzhao Prefecture to report the case.

Gu Zhiyi felt a little uncomfortable in this warm reunion scene, so she quietly took her entourage and returned to the Ningguo Mansion.

When Mrs. Xie heard the news of her return, she immediately put down everything she was doing, not even caring about Duke Ning who had just returned home to rest. She ignored her husband's reproachful look and asked directly, "Zhiyi, how is it going?"

Gu Zhiyi replied calmly: "The man has been found. We arrived in time and the child was not harmed. Moreover, we happened to witness the man committing the crime and caught him red-handed, so he cannot deny it."

Deng Yuanji hid Tong Zongsheng on his bed in his bedroom. In this way, even if Tong's family found this place, he could make up a lie and say that he saw the child fainted outside and brought him back to the bedroom for treatment.

If the criminal had not been caught red-handed, this matter would probably have been more complicated.

Gu Zhiyi briefly described the rescue process but did not mention Chao Yunxuan.

On the one hand, this was not necessary, and on the other hand, she could already see their defeat from the faces of the Tong family servants.

She had no interest in making tea, nor did she like the scent of tea on her body.

However, Gu Zhiyi did not want to get involved in the right and wrong, but someone took the initiative and began to have delusions of being harmed.

Chao Yunxuan covered her right shoulder which was pierced by the knife and cursed angrily: "Bitch! She must have done it on purpose!" Before she finished speaking, she fainted on the ground.

Xie Xun looked at her beloved with a pale face, feeling both pain and helplessness. She arranged for someone to take good care of Chao Yunxuan, and she hurried back to the Ningguo Mansion.

It was dinner time, and the busy official, Duke Ning, was summoned to the palace again. Xie Xun had not returned home for dinner these days. Therefore, neither Mrs. Xie nor Gu Zhiyi waited for him to come back before starting dinner.

Gu Zhiyi was hungry at this time. Seeing the delicious food on the table, she started to eat like a hungry tiger. Although her movements were quick, they were not rude. Instead, they seemed particularly elegant, which made people's appetite increase.

Looking at her eating posture, Mrs. Xie couldn't help but add half a bowl of rice.

In this short period of time, the investigation results of Jingzhao Prefecture came out.

It turned out that Deng Yuanji kidnapped Tong Zongsheng in order to avenge Tong's elder brother, who worked in the Ministry of Justice and had just arrested a murderer who raped and murdered a girl, and that murderer was Deng Yuanji's son.

Deng Yuanji carefully planned an escape route and laid out a series of protective umbrellas for his only son. As long as he could flee the capital and hide outside for a few years, when the hustle and bustle and memories of the capital gradually faded away, Deng Yuanji would take him back and protect him under his wings as his cousin or nephew.

However, just as Deng Yuanji's son was about to leave the city gate after disguising himself, the eldest brother of the Tong family saw something suspicious and immediately stopped him and revealed his true identity. With irrefutable evidence, Deng Yuanji's son was beheaded seven days later.

Deng Yuanji was heartbroken over the loss of his beloved son. He bore a grudge against Tong's brother and vowed to make him suffer the pain of losing his son as well.

Old Madam Xie was deeply moved by this matter. In her free time in the morning, she invited Gu Zhiyi to have tea and chat. Most of the time, Old Madam Xie talked, and Gu Zhiyi only responded occasionally.

Although she didn't say much, she always hit the point, which made Old Madam Xie not only not feel bored, but even more excited.

At this moment, Nanny Wen's anxious voice came from outside the door: "Young Master, please wait a moment, let me inform you first!" But Xie Xun did not wait, and rushed to Gu Zhiyi like a gust of wind.

After a long while, Gu Zhiyi asked with a confused look on her face: "What exactly do you want to do?"

She originally thought that he was here to call her to task. His aggressive look did not seem like a good person. However, when he stood in front of her, he was like a mute, not saying a word.

His eyes were as big as copper bells, and flames seemed to be spewing from them, but his mouth was unusually well-behaved and he didn't utter a word.

Old Madam Xie was also confused by her son's behavior. The moment Xie Xun rushed in, she immediately stood in front of Gu Zhiyi.

She originally thought that her son would suddenly lose control, but unexpectedly he just glared at Gu Zhiyi across the coffee table.

This situation... is really unbelievable.

Xie Xun closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and when he opened his eyes again, although his expression was still gloomy, he was not as angry as before.

He spoke, his voice cold and heavy: "You expected all this, right?"

"You clearly have the ability to stop this, so why do you just watch them die?"

Gu Zhiyi smiled contemptuously: "I have clearly reminded them for the sake of my cousin's wife, but they turned a deaf ear to it. Do I have to kneel down and beg them not to go?"

Her expression turned slightly cold: "Perhaps you have heard of the saying that it is difficult to persuade a damned ghost with kind words?"

It turned out that the Tong family discovered that the information provided by Chao Yunxuan was wrong after arriving at Heifeng Village.

There is indeed a group of criminals hiding in the Black Wind Village, but they are not simple kidnappers, but bandit leaders and their men disguised as ordinary people.

These people used Heifengzhai as their base and planned a daring robbery - kidnapping the families of the powerful and wealthy in Shengjing, especially their direct descendants, in order to extort ransom.

This group of bandits were fearless, extremely ferocious, and agile. Chao Yunxuan and the Tong family members who underestimated their enemies soon got into trouble.

Although Chao Yunxuan is an extraordinary fighter, she is still able to fight one against three bandits and remain undefeated for the time being.

But the people of Tong's family were much more miserable. They were just two civil servants and some servants. How could they contend against these bandits?

At the beginning of the confrontation, the Tong family suffered heavy casualties.

Chao Yunxuan also exhausted her physical strength in rounds of attack and defense, and was eventually stabbed in the right shoulder by a gangster!

If Xie Xun had not been well-informed and learned the identity of the bandits in Black Wind Village, and if he had not accidentally discovered that Chao Yunxuan was carrying out a bounty mission, and the investigation target of the mission was Black Wind Village, and if he had not notified the city defense team in time to go to support, otherwise, the Tong family and Chao Yunxuan would probably have died in Black Wind Village!
